十二 [Video]

[The video switches on to Japan, and he leaves the device lying there. He's got his uniform on, though his arms aren't through the sleeves, and he's looking pretty grim. Ignoring that, he seems to be in the hospital which is not in good shape.]

...Forgive me for what has occurred.

Ah, but if I may ask, what has happened to the hospital? It is... [a pause. he looks away from the camera.]

My sword is missing. I am not sure how I will maneuver back to the apartments, but I suppose I can try my best.

[an even longer pause. so much pausing.]

My sincerest apologies to those I have let down. [and he reaches over and clicks off the feed]

She's in the high school now.

[It's not creepy it's Japanese!! You see the true reason Japan has no pupils is... okay no. But anyway, at that tone, Japan's hands instinctively rise to try and wave away the warning. He stares at Seifer with determination.]

Please do not take such a tone with me, Seifer-san. Ah.. perhaps I can put it in your terms. [BRACE FOR HIS BEST SEIFER IMITATION spoilers it's not the best he expects to be laughed at or maybe hit again]

If you want me to stay out of it then you gotta prove that you can handle it. You're posse, remember? Did you really think I wouldn't notice?

[and then stopping that horrible casual speech and hurhur he said posse]

... Ah, I believe something like that would be said if the situation were reversed.

Ah, right.. I understand. I shall ask a family member to check on her..

[Well to say Seifer is surprised is an understatement. This was something he most definitely was not expecting. But oh he will be laughing at this, later. In fact he will probably make fun of Japan forever after this for it. For now though he just looks away.]

I'm fine.

[But his hands curl into fists and he does... suddenly look tired.]

What tipped you off?

I'm sorry.

[he watches carefully, waiting just a moment before speaking]

I am more observant than most. Ah.. your actions speak loudest. [It was hard to pick just one point in time where he noticed it, really]

Happened with what. Oh, you mean the new monsters? I dunno, but they destroyed my embassy so now I'm killing them.

...I could.

[ but he doesn't ]

It is not your fault.

I should've been able to do more, to get there faster..

Ah..

[he sort of frowns thoughtfully at that second part, but doesn't argue it. ..it's not so bad after a while. it might get comfortable if he deals with it too long..]

Marshall was destroyed, then? ... Were many hurt?

No, Mutou-kun. Do not place blame on yourself. Gracia-san is strong. ...I am.. certain she will be fine.

Tch... Must be losing my grip.

[He falls silent and it's hard not to be pissed. He hates showing weakness. Even if it's Japan... it still stings. He should be better than this. He should be more capable. He should have taken care of this whole entire mess already. But that isn't the case is it, because he isn't good enough. Never good enough.]

The hell do you expect me to do about it? I can't stop now.

[ You'd better get comfy, because America's forgotten that he's still holding Japan in the same way someone forgets that they're holding a pencil, then proceed to search all over for it. ]

Me and Denmark evacuated! I had to punch a hole in China's door but I got him out too!

[ meaning, he tried. ]

...

Yes, she will. I know she will.

It is not that you should stop, necessarily..

[Japan frowns. Really, he's sympathizing with a lot of Seifer's thoughts right now. Showing weakness, even, is never something any country wants to do. Humans, either. It's no different, though some are more stubborn about it than others. He leans forward a little and now it's his turn to try for a comforting hand on the arm.]

Perhaps I could be of some help? ... There are others, as well.. Ah, I believe you can continue to work as you do while allowing more time for yourself. At least a small break would be sufficient at such a time.

[that is a beautiful and fascinating analogy.]

..Ah, I must thank you for that, then. Denmark-san is safe as well, then? ..What of his family, do you know?

Yes. And now we must look out for the others that we can.

[ at least he's remembered Japan enough to still talk to him! ]

He's out, but he hasn't heard from his family yet! It makes him all quiet and weird. I'm glad that didn't happen to me!

[FFFF AMERICA WHAT IS YOUR MIND]

...He has not? Ah... that.. [making a note to keep an eye out for them. sob]

In any case, I am glad you seem to be well, America-san. ...I was gone for quite some time, wasn't I?

I haven't heard from Jounouchi-kun or Sohma-kun since this all started...

[ EVER BEEN TO THE LURAY CAVERNS? It's actually quite pretty. ]

Nope! I've heard Iceland around, but I dunno about Norway and Sweden and I dunno who else is in Denmark's family.

Days. Why did you have to be so slow coming back?!

[ He might be unconsciously holding Japan tighter to his chest. Not uncomfortably so, but noticeable. ]

I do not have news of the first name, but which Sohma are you speaking of?

[NO I HAVE NOT]

Hmm.. ... A-ah, I apologize.. [noting that difference, and he frowns a little sheepishly before allowing his head to rest against America. ...who knows, it's some form of attempted comfort.]

I did not intend to take so long to return.

That's right! He has family here..

Ahh... Haru-kun.

[Seifer freezes at that hand on his arm. Is this pity? And the things Japan's saying... What is this. Is he this pathetic? Like some little boy who's gotten in too far over his head? Something very dark and incomprehensible settles on his face. Don't be ashamed to ask for help. Besides, you're only a little boy. That's what Edea had told him before he'd become her knight. Only a little boy... This silence is getting pretty long hunh. There's a short, quiet laugh and something about it is very harsh.]

The hell do you think I am?

[He stands up and looks down at the country. Again that laugh, more of a chuckle really, far from pleasant.]

You think I'm a little boy who can't handle war? Who can't get the job done?! Heh... I bid farewell to my childhood a long time ago Japan.

[He doesn't even realizing he's saying the very same thing Edea said to him before she dragged him off to be her knight. But there's a heady feeling running through his brain now like a half remembered dream. What it means to be a knight, to be out in the field, to be doing real work, not propping up this wreck of a city. The situation is hardly any better back home for him; how long had it been since he'd slept back there? How many injuries had he gained in the fighting? The details to worry about, the idiots to deal with, having no one, but his posse to rely on and all the world against him. Discedo is child's play; he won't be broken by it. He refuses to be! Again that chuckle and it really is a nasty sound isn't, there isn't the slightest echo of kindness in it.]

Is this all you wanted?
